The Nevada Supreme Court Building was evacuated Saturday morning due to smoke caused by a malfunctioning elevator. The extreme heat and smoke prevented maintenance workers from pinpointing the cause of the malfunction, but officials suspect that a seized pump overheated the hydraulic fluid that operates the elevator. The smoke, traveling up the elevator shaft, quickly spread throughout the building. The courthouse will remain closed on Monday while efforts to clear the smoke continue.
Due to the emergency closure, Chief Justice Maupin issued an order extending the deadline for filing documents due in the Supreme Court on Monday. Any document due to be filed Monday will be accepted as timely filed on Tuesday.
